Description

  The present invention corrects the distortion of the human foot resulting from the weakening of soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments, and smoothes the leg transport during walking, thereby preventing blood circulation, body distortion, autonomic nerve imbalance, immunity The present invention relates to a sock having a taping function for the purpose of preventing physical abnormalities resulting from a decrease in force, hormonal imbalance, and the like.

  Conventionally, it is said that there are immeasurable effects on the whole body due to abnormalities related to human ankles. From the anatomical, physiological, and kinematic point of view, even if a slight distortion appears due to the weakening of hard tissue such as muscles and ligaments, various abnormalities are caused, such as blood circulation disorders, body distortions, and autonomic nerves. Imbalances, decreased immunity, hormonal imbalances, etc. had a negative effect on the whole body and could interfere with daily life. Habitual repetition of unbalanced landing resulting from ankle distortion has adverse effects on the six viscera and six limbs. Especially, abnormalities in the left foot affect the circulatory and respiratory organs, abnormalities in the right foot indicate digestive and urinary organs It is said to affect system organs.

  On the other hand, an invention relating to a sock that restores the arch to a normal shape for a person whose arch of the sole collapses or disappears by wearing high heels or hard leather shoes that do not fit the foot for a long time is disclosed ( (See Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, these socks are mainly used to regain the shape of the arch by strongly tightening the arch portion of the foot, and do not correct the distortion of the entire foot from the ankle. Also, so-called elastic socks for the treatment of varicose veins and lymphatic edema differ from the present invention in that the entire leg calf is tightened.

  Next, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “embodiments”) will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a left side view of a sock according to the embodiment on the right foot, FIG. 2 shows a plan view state, FIG. 3 shows a right side view state, and FIG. Similarly, the bottom view is shown.

  In the socks shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a sock for a right foot with five fingers provided with a taping function for correcting distortion of the foot according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the socks for the right foot will be described with reference to the drawings. Normally, left and right socks are used in pairs. If only the thumb 5 is formed as an independent finger, not limited to socks with five fingers, the other fingers may be formed integrally. If the sock slips during use, the fastening part formed on the sock may not come into contact with the initially assumed fastening part of the foot, so at least the thumb 5 is formed as an independent finger, and the sock with five fingers is preferably used. It is preferable to do. In the sock according to the embodiment, the base knitted portion is formed of a flexible fiber material, and a woven fabric with a low elongation rate using elastic yarn in each band-like region, for example, a tuck knitting or a spliced knitting, It is characterized in that a tightening portion formed continuously is formed.

  The sock 1 passes from the outer ankle 2 and the lower extensor retinaculum region A located below it to the front ligament ligament region B located in front of the outer ankle 2 and from the upper region F through the arch C to the sole. From the first belt-like region extending to the region D and the third peroneal muscle region E of the base of the little finger 6 from the sole D to the upper region F, the inner ankle 3 and the triangular ligament region G located therebelow A second belt-like region extending from the ankle back portion H to the outer ankle 2 and the lower extensor retinaculum region A, and from the tip of the thumb 5 to the base I of the thumb 5 and extending forward and upward of the ankle. Three band-shaped regions 13 are provided, and a tightening portion having a taping action is formed in each band-shaped region.

  Receiving the taping action in the direction of preventing the extension of the anterior ligament ligament and the lower extensor retinaculum by the tightening part 11 of the first band-like region 11, and pulling up the tendon of the third peroneal muscle by the tightening part 12 of the second band-like region, A taping action for supporting the triangular ligament is received, and a taping action is applied in a direction in which the tip of the thumb 5 is warped by the tightening portion 13 in the third band-like region. Further, it receives a taping action in which the ankle is fixed by the intersection F and the overlapping point H between the tightening portion 11 of the first belt-shaped region and the tightening portion 12 of the second belt-shaped region.

  In the boundary sole region D between the first strip region 11 and the second strip region 12, the tightening portion is provided continuously, and in particular, passes from the sole region D through the third peroneal muscle region E behind the base of the little finger, Preferably, the region F, the inner ankle 3 and the triangular ligament region G positioned below the region F, the second belt-shaped region from the triangular ligament region H toward the ankle back surface portion H, are configured so that the strongest tightening force acts. That is, it is based on a mechanism in which the tendon of the third peroneus muscle is pulled up to prevent the extension of the anterior talum ligament and the inferior extensor retinaculum and further reinforce it. By the taping action of the tightening portion, ankle distortion becomes normal, and abnormalities in the body caused by blood circulation disorders, body distortion, autonomic nerve imbalance, immunity reduction, hormone imbalance, and the like are prevented. Further, it is more preferable to provide a tightening portion in the third belt-like region because the foot travels more smoothly during walking and running, and tripping is prevented to prevent falling forward.

  The fastening portion formed in the belt-like region is not particularly limited as long as it has a taping action. For example, a woolen nylon is formed by stretching a polyurethane elastic yarn such as spandex as a core. Polyurethane elastic yarns such as double covering yarns (DCY) or spandex, which are wound twice in the S and Z directions, respectively, are used as the core, and when the yarn is stretched, Woolley nylon yarns are placed in the S and Z directions. It is preferable to use a single covering yarn (SCY) wound in a single direction in any direction because the tightening force is strong and the taping action is improved. Alternatively, DCY may be used for the second or third belt-like region requiring the strongest tightening force, and SCY may be used for the first belt-like region. The width of the tightening portion is not particularly limited, but the first belt-like region 11 and the second belt-like region 12 are 40 to 80 mm, preferably 45 to 55 mm, and the third belt-like region 13 is formed to 20 to 30 mm. It is preferable.

  The fastening portion formed in the belt-like region is preferably knitted with a knitted fabric having a low elongation rate, for example, a tack knitting, a splicing knitting or the like. In a sock knitted fabric by a circular knitting machine, the structure of a tuck stitch (Tuck stitch) refers to a structure in which a loop is not escaped in one course and a plurality of loops are escaped in a next course to create a new loop. Making this incomplete loop is called tack, and the frequency of tacking is usually up to 2 times, but 3-6 times of continuous tack is arranged in contrast to the turtle shell pattern that applied tack to flat knitting. It may be what you did.

  The structure of splicing knitting (Plating) is applied to flat knitting and rubber knitting, supplying other yarn to the ground knitting yarn, and displaying one of the yarns on the front and the other on the back There is a weaving method called boss necks, in which weaving is usually knitted with ground yarn, and a separately prepared yarn is woven around the needle at the required part. The fastening portion may be formed by weaving DCY or SCY. In this case, it is preferable to select and use the type of yarn according to the tightening force as described above.

  Moreover, it is preferable to provide a non-slip part in each area | region of the back side of the thumb in the sole part of the socks, the back part of the thumb, the back part of the middle finger to the back part of the base of the little finger, and the back part from the outside of the heel. As an anti-slip material, for example, it is preferable to form ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), vinyl chloride resin, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, and other elastomers in the above-mentioned region in the form of dots. By providing a non-slip in this way, landing from the outer side of the heel in the rear part vicinity region M, weight shift from the rear part of the middle finger to the rear part area L of the little finger and the rear part region K of the thumb, Finally, the action of kicking the ground in the back side area J of the thumb is ensured, and the auxiliary action is made to make the leg movement smooth. Furthermore, a massage effect is acquired when a scattered dot-like unevenness stimulates the sole.

  Next, a plurality of pairs of left and right socks having a taping function according to the above-described embodiment in which a tightening portion is formed with a tuck knitting structure using DCY is created, and the socks are used for elderly people aged 65 to 80 and sprain rehabilitation. I asked 5 adults to wear the monitor for 1 month and heard the impression after use. All were easy to walk and run. And got the result.

  The sock with taping function according to the present invention corrects the distortion of the human foot due to the weakness of soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments unique to modern people, contributes to the maintenance of health by smoothing the leg movement during walking Therefore, it is extremely useful as one of the necessities for the aging society.
